Chapter 7
Woke up around nine o'clock.Lu Yang was dizzy, sat up from the sofa, and most of the blanket on his chest slipped off.He picked it up casually, and saw Zhou Chuan walking towards the bathroom in a nonchalant manner.
Zhou Chuan obviously just washed his face, there were water marks on his forehead and chest, he walked unsteadily, and bumped into the wall in three or two steps.Lu Yang yawned and asked him when he woke up, but Zhou Chuan was still so drunk that he had no idea of the past time, saying that he woke up only when he heard the sound of pinging, pinging, pinging, pinging, pinging, bang, bang, etc. When he saw it, it turned out that Xu Xiuyuan was arranging the dishes.He only slept half the night last night, coupled with the feeling of alcohol, he couldn't bear the drowsiness after a break, but Lu Yang, on the other hand, was purely delirious from drinking.After Zhou Chuan woke up, he and Xu Xiuyuan worked together to lift him onto the sofa. Fortunately, he woke up within 2 minutes after lying down, wasting their efforts. God knows that he is full of tendons, and it was not easy to lift these few steps.
"You're already awake, why don't you just push me awake? I don't know how much I drank, and my head still hurts." Lu Yang pressed his temples on both sides, feeling his veins throbbing.
"Can it not hurt? Don't drink this amount of yours. I guess it will be tomorrow when you open your eyes. You sleep for a while, and I will vomit after watching it for a while." Zhou Chuan looked down at the time, "... almost, I I have to go home. How about you, together?"
"My shift tomorrow afternoon," Lu Yang asked noncommittally, "Where's Pingqiu?"
"In the room, my little brother just carried him in. I don't think he can drink at all, he seems to have passed out, and his whole body is as red as a boiled shrimp—then you mean you want to stay longer?" Zhou Chuan Before he finished speaking, seeing Xu Xiuyuan leave the bedroom, he turned to ask: "Pingqiu is asleep?"
"Sleeping." Xu Xiuyuan didn't know when he changed his clothes. The short t-shirt on his upper body looked familiar. Lu Yang recalled that it was Pingqiu's clothes.
Before leaving, Zhou Chuan babbled: "You didn't see that Pingqiu was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily, his whole face was flushed, and he kept saying that he would help put away the table. Just take it away. He poured the shochu as water, The little brother went to snatch it, but was splashed all over. Then guess what, Pingqiu felt that the smell was not right, so he went to smell it—drunk and stupefied!"
"Be careful!" Seeing that Zhou Chuan was about to fall, Lu Yang grabbed his arm suddenly.The two huddled together in the narrow corridor, and Lu Yang's shoulder hit the wall from time to time, causing him to grin his teeth in pain, but he also regained consciousness a lot.
Don't drink and drive, Zhou Chuan called a substitute driver in advance.The waiting process was long and boring. The two brothers stood at the bottom of the building under the street lamp and smoked.Zhou Chuan puffed out the smoke and sniffed at himself, almost nauseated by the stench of tobacco and alcohol.He also sniffed Lu Yang, seeing that he smelled too bad, so he smiled proudly: "You are not much better than me. When I get home, take a shower, and call my wife, it's comfortable!"
"Isn't it a quarrel?" Lu Yang laughed at him, "It's so easy to give in?"
"Can you not give in?...Anyway, she is never wrong. She is the one who is right. Besides, it's not me who is outside."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yang took him as a joke.
"Didn't understand? Let me tell you! My wife! There's someone outside her!" Zhou Chuan stood staggeringly, only holding a cigarette securely at his fingertips.
Hearing this, Lu Yang straightened his face slightly: "This matter is not a joke, you figure it out, don't wrong her."
"How wronged, I can see it with both eyes. That person is her company's intern this year, just graduated from university," Zhou Chuan held a cigarette in one hand, and made a "three" with the other hand, "23 years old, how young ,23 years old."
"So you guys quarreled recently because of this?"
"Otherwise, I can't even make trouble?"
"I didn't say that," Lu Yang asked, "Are you sure about it? Are you listening to others' speculation, or just—"
"I sent it downstairs and kissed her on the mouth. When I got home, my daughter kissed 'brother' one by one. Do you think this is chasing rumors, or is it that I caught adultery on the spot?" Zhou Chuan was drunk and said without restraint, "I know, When I chased her back then, I was Gao Pan, she was rich and beautiful, her promise to marry me was already smoke from my ancestral grave, I am content, she has the final say on everything in the family, and I don’t care if the child takes her surname—I Talk to her in a low voice and ask her to tell me the truth. Guess what she said? She admitted that she was really tempted. The intern is young and has a sweet mouth. Who doesn’t like the new and dislike the old? Maybe I have to thank her for willing Tell me the truth."
Lu Yang thought about it and asked, "Then what are you going to do? What's her attitude?"
"Her?" Zhou Chuan looked at the approaching figure in the distance, "She said to follow me, leave or continue if she wants to, she respects me—shit respect."
The surrogate driver was a young guy, and Zhou Chuan confessed his thoughts and drunkenly. He held the other party's collar and stuck it to his face. He stared at him and asked how old he was, which frightened the driver a lot.It was Lu Yang who cleverly cut his arm backwards and then pushed him into the back seat of the car.
After the car started the engine, Zhou Chuan lowered the windows of the back seat, motioning Lu Yang to bend forward.He drunkenly said: "You have to be careful, there are so many male students around Pingqiu, maybe he will fall in love with one of them. He is not a law-abiding person. The first time I saw him, he twisted that ass, no , waist, twisted so coquettishly, it is to seduce men—”
"Drive!" Lu Yang slapped the car body violently, and the substitute driver drove the car away, causing Zhou Chuan's last scribble in the air, melting into the dark night, and disappearing.
The wind blows downstairs for a while, and after smoking half a cigarette, Lu Yang is still a little dizzy when he climbs the stairs.When he entered, he saw Xu Xiuyuan was still dealing with the mess in the kitchen, and the garbage basket at his feet was full of crushed beer cans, and the headache seemed to intensify a lot.Lu Yang didn't disturb him, and walked towards the bedroom lightly. The lights in the room were turned off, the temperature of the air conditioner was adjusted moderately, and Pingqiu was sleeping soundly under a blanket.
Lu Yang stood at the end of the bed for a while, turned around and closed the door, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, sleeping on his side next to Ping Qiu.Wrapping his arms around his belly, Lu Yang buried his face into Pingqiu's neck, bit his lips against the skin, licked his tongue behind his ears and cheeks, and stuck his palms under the blanket, laying on Pingqiu's belly. Knead slowly.
Knowing that Xu Xiuyuan was right outside the door, the darkness in the bedroom also gave Lu Yang an endless sense of security.He was a little disturbed by Zhou Chuan's drunken words before he left, and his rationality told him that it was Zhou Chuan who was provoked by his cheating wife and spoke unscrupulously. out of control.He put his palms deeper, stroking Pingqiu's waist and abdomen, and then his buttocks.Pingqiu writhed uneasily in his arms, which made him seem like the kind of person Zhou Chuan despised, longing for the touch of youthful strength, and his dreams were full of thoughts.
At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the house.Lu Yang suddenly woke up, his eyes were suddenly clear, and he saw Pingqiu's twisted body wrapped in his arms, with his bare forearm raised high, and turned back to hold him around his neck, even his hands had already wrapped Pingqiu's pajama pants Pulling between the thighs, the palm lingers in that secret area.Annoyed, Lu Yang hurriedly put Pingqiu's hands and feet back in their original positions, tidied up his messy pajamas, and brushed back his messy hair.After adjusting his breathing and going out, Xu Xiuyuan happened to close the refrigerator door and meet him face to face. He signaled that there was hot water on the table, and asked, "Shall we talk?"
Lu Yang readily accepted the appointment.
Although Pingqiu's house is small in size, it has all the internal organs, especially the square balcony outside the living room, with a seat, it has always been a good place for Pingqiu to take a lazy nap.Later, Lu Yang often came to stay for a while, and one seat became two.
Sitting side by side with Xu Xiuyuan outside the balcony, Lu Yang's chaotic mood gradually calmed down.He was holding a water glass with a black tea bag hanging on the inside of the glass.The night was like water in front of him, he sipped tea, and Xu Xiuyuan said first: "Chinese medicine says that it is not suitable to drink tea after drinking."
"Ah, is it?" Lu Yang resentfully said, "I don't know very well, and I don't pay much attention to this."
"You don't look like such a careless person. I saw a lot of post-it notes in the carton next to the refrigerator before. The handwriting doesn't look like Brother Pingqiu. Did you write it?"
"I wrote it. He sometimes doesn't eat. I'm used to leaving him a message. It's a reminder to him."
"I remember that he was very sloppy when he was studying. At that time, he was in junior high school, I was in elementary school, and my brother was also in junior high school. The school was very close to each other, so my brother drove me to school early in the morning. He rode a bicycle and we The three went to school together," Xu Xiuyuan recalled. "At that time, my brother would take a long detour every time, passing a breakfast stand on the street, and buying glutinous rice siu mai made by his family. Brother Pingqiu liked it very much, and my brother would often eat more. I bought one for him. I found out later that he never ate breakfast at home, because he had paid for the food at school, so he would stay hungry until noon, which saved a lot of money.”
Lu Yang was a little surprised: "His family——"
Xu Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Not very good. You should know that he is a single parent, and there is only his mother at home-to be honest, you look completely different."
"What's the meaning?"
"Maybe it's because I've known him for too long, Pingqiu—actually, I'm not used to calling him brother."
Lu Yang smiled slightly, motioning for him to continue.
Xu Xiuyuan continued: "He is very introverted and his temper is too gentle. It may be because he grew up in a single-parent family. He is used to accommodating others. But you are different. You give me the impression that you are very cheerful and courageous. Unlike him before Should life be completely different?"
"Not bad, you are very good at judging people. You are right, my dad used to do this." Lu Yang raised his hand as a military salute.
"soldier?"
"Yes, my mother is a good teacher, right?" Lu Yang said, "I am an only child, and my family has been doing well since I was a child, but my parents are very strict. When I was young, my father often scolded me. My dad is even more ruthless, with such a thick cane, she pumped it directly on my thigh, and she picked the tenderest meat. I should be the most rebellious in middle school, skipping classes and training all day long. To tell you the truth, I was I really wanted to be a singer, and I even signed up for auditions for singing shows, but on the day of the auditions, my dad took them home, and our family pulled out two rattan sticks that night—anyway, they always felt that I couldn’t do anything. No, two old-fashioned ones."
"Are you a local?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.
"No, from a neighboring city. After retiring from the team, I was originally in the provincial team. I thought it was boring, so I came here—my grandmother is from the city."
"Your parents won't stop you?"
"Stop it, keep urging me to go home." Maybe it was the effect of alcohol that made it rare for Lu Yang to be honest. He said with a wry smile, "Where can I go back?"
"Because of Pingqiu?"
"..."
Lu Yang's silence is obviously the most direct answer.Xu Xiuyuan adjusted his sitting posture calmly, and raised his left knee slightly: "Speaking of which, I always feel that my brother is similar to you in some ways. He is also very rebellious. My mother was so angry that she went to the hospital, and my father wanted to sever ties with him."
Lu Yang's eyes flickered: "What about him and Pingqiu?"
Xu Xiuyuan nodded: "My mother was hospitalized, and my father was so angry that he dragged my brother to kneel beside my mother's bed, and whipped my brother so hard that he couldn't stand up with a broom handle. My mother scolded him, begged him, and used almost everything. Over and over again, my brother still doesn’t let go.”
"They had a great relationship at the time."
"Possibly, but still separated."
"I heard from Ping Qiu that they broke up because your brother broke up contact on his own initiative, so he didn't say so clearly."
"On the face of it."
"What's the meaning?"
"I asked my brother, since he and his parents could fight like that for him, why did they break up so easily, and he even took the initiative," Xu Xiuyuan said, "My brother didn't have much to explain, just saying that he couldn't give Pingqiu What you want, it is better to just let go, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."
"What does Pingqiu want?" Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, then asked sincerely, "I don't quite understand."
"I think it may be a sense of security. He is a single-parent family and has a shy personality. In fact, he has a very stubborn temper. I guess Pingqiu should have cared about my parents' opinions at that time. He probably needs the recognition and support of his elders."
Lu Yang moved his eyes down and nailed to a dim street lamp at the bottom of the building.
Xu Xiuyuan continued: "After all, no one wants to be sneaky all their lives."
That night, when Lu Yang stayed overnight, Xu Xiuyuan tactfully hugged a blanket and built a nest on the sofa in the living room. With a small fan on his leg, he said good night to Lu Yang who was leaning against the wall with a face full of shame, and asked him to help turn off the headlights in the living room. Pull off.
Lu Yang turned off the lights as he said, but stood in the dark for a long time.The faint light of the mobile phone screen reflected his eyes faintly. He lingered for a long time under the two lines of phone numbers marked "parents", and immediately regretted pressing the button.No matter how many troubles there were, he simply put them aside, and the boat went straight to the bridge. Right now, he should take a shower to wash away the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body.
There were three or two pieces of Lu Yang's change of clothes left in Pingqiu's residence, but they were all long-sleeved trousers, so Lu Yang found a pair of Pingqiu's short T-shirts in the bedroom.He stepped into the bathroom, filled with fog, his clothes hung on the hooks on the wall, then rummaged left and right, and found out from the drawer the pair of colorful underwear that Pingqiu had hidden before.
Facing the direction of the sink, Lu Yang finally paid attention, and found that the wooden shelf where he and Pingqiu's two washing cups were placed side by side had changed hands. His gray toothbrush cup was put into a drawer, and a brand new pure white one was replaced. wash cup.He felt weird, and gently pushed one of the washing cups away with a finger, and then moved the other one to the other end.
Unexpectedly, the door was knocked, Xu Xiuyuan squeezed in, said "Excuse me", and bent down to take out a bottle of new shampoo from the penultimate drawer on the right.He was very careful, and even unpacked Lu Yang, squeezed out two pumps of air and handed it to him: "The old bottle has just been used up, I forgot. You take a shower, be careful of the water, the floor is very slippery."
Lu Yang was inexplicably restless, but he couldn't fault his thoughtfulness to Xu Xiuyuan.After he thanked him, Xu Xiuyuan was about to close the door, but was hurriedly called to stop.
Facing Shang Luyang's still somewhat distracted eyes, Xu Xiuyuan smiled shortly in a nasal voice, interrupting his unfinished words: "It's late, go to bed early after taking a shower."
After speaking, he closed the bathroom door, turned the handle on the outside of the door, and locked the door intimately for Lu Yang.
The next day, Pingqiu got up early, and saw the screen window in the room dimly, the curtain was not drawn tightly, and the gap in the middle revealed the bright sky outside the window.He tried to turn over, but found that his waist was heavy. It turned out that an arm from behind was tightly encircling his waist and abdomen.
"Xiuyuan, you let go, I feel a little uncomfortable." Tired in the morning, Pingqiu's consciousness was fuzzy, and he naturally regarded the other person who slept in the bed as Xu Xiuyuan, until he turned over to face the sleepy Lu Yang, he was startled, and repeated The request stuck in his mouth was difficult to get up and down, and his scalp was numb with fright.
But his slowness was regarded by Lu Yang as lazy in the morning, he even lowered his body, leaning his head closer to Pingqiu's chest.Lu Yang's voice was vague: "It's still early, sleep a little longer. I didn't hear what you just said clearly."
Pingqiu was tongue-tied: "I said, it's already dawn."
"Why did I hear you say that you are uncomfortable?" Lu Yang lazily said, his current posture was convenient for him to use his lips to pick the button of Pingqiu's chest, and pecked at his chest seemingly indistinctly.
"I said you hugged me too tightly, it was uncomfortable," Ping Qiu intentionally changed the subject, and lowered his voice, "Why did you sleep with me last night? It's not good to be seen by Xiu Yuan."
"He's not in the room."
"Oh, he didn't sleep on the floor at night? Where did he sleep?"
"living room."
This time Ping Qiu was completely awake.He pushed Lu Yang's shoulders, turned over and pulled up the collar of the pajamas that were scattered on both shoulders, and turned around. Not only was his hair and clothes messed up, but even the expression on his face was disturbing.He said: "There is no air-conditioning in the living room. On such a hot day, how can he sleep outside? Why don't you persuade him?"
Lu Yang stood up and said, "He went out on his own initiative, I didn't force him."
"If he goes out, won't you keep him?" Ping Qiu was annoyed.
"He's going by himself, how can I stay?" Lu Yang was also angry, "Do I still have to say that you stay and sleep on the bottom, and you and Pingqiu brother sleep on it, we don't mind, and you don't have to feel embarrassed .Is that what you think I should say?"
Ping Qiu was left speechless by his call, and he did have his reasons, but it was definitely not out of his heart to let Xu Xiuyuan spend the night in the stuffy living room. If Ping Qiu had some consciousness at that time, he knew Lu Yang If he wanted to stay overnight, he would even take the initiative to give up the room and sleep in the living room by himself.
Leaving Lu Yang to sit on the head of the bed full of displeasure, Ping Qiu went straight out of the bedroom, and as expected, he saw Xu Xiuyuan lying in the living room with his arms covering his eyes, sweating from sleep.The sofa was cushioned with ordinary checkered fabric, probably because he was worried that it would get wet with sweat, so Xu Xiuyuan even spread two more coats under his body as a spacer, which made him sweat even more.
Ping Qiu crouched by the sofa and gently shook his shoulders, calling him to wake up in a low voice.Xu Xiuyuan was half asleep and half awake, the sweltering heat of the summer night made him toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and he barely closed his eyes until it was dawn. This time he was awakened, he put down his arm, his face was wet with sweat, and there was a round lump on his forehead red seal.
Seeing this, Pingqiu felt even more guilty.He turned off the fan at his feet, pulled Xu Xiuyuan's wrist and said, "Go, go to sleep in the room."
Xu Xiuyuan sat up, his clothes clinging to his back.He brushed all the sweaty forehead hair back, glanced at the balcony, and said hoarsely, "It's dawn?"
"It's past seven o'clock. You should change your clothes first, then go to sleep in the room, don't go in directly, you will catch a cold if you sweat so much." Ping Qiu helped him tidy up the blanket.Because of the sweltering heat last night, Xu Xiuyuan threw the blanket aside.
"Don't sleep, I'm going to buy breakfast." Xu Xiuyuan stood up.
"Don't go," Ping Qiu hurriedly pulled him back, rubbing his palms with wet spots: "I'll buy breakfast, you go to sleep for a while."
"Aren't you going to work?" Xu Xiuyuan said, "You pack up and go downstairs, I will ride there by bike, the time will be just right, and I won't delay you."
Ping Qiu's throat choked: "Don't do this."
"Well," Xu Xiuyuan held his hand back, the outdoors were facing the sun and the indoors, Xu Xiuyuan happened to be against the light, which made his face blurry, "You always have this expression, as if you are very reluctant."
"I think—" Before Pingqiu finished speaking, there was movement in the direction of the bedroom.He subconsciously withdrew his hand, because of the force, he fell down and sat down on the sofa, stood up at the same time Lu Yang appeared, combed his hair twice, and then stared at Xu Xiuyuan's left hand hanging in the seam of his trousers, leaving After saying "Go to sleep", he turned and walked into the bathroom.
The sound of the door opening and closing made Lu Yang's brows tighten and loosen, loosen and tighten again.He didn't want Xu Xiuyuan to see through another quarrel between him and Pingqiu over an unimportant matter, so he forced his expression to signal him to listen to Pingqiu's words and go back to bed.
When the two sides passed each other, Lu Yang made a gesture to block his way, followed Ping Qiu's previous accusation and apologized: "Your brother has already taught me a lesson, you are a guest, and you are also a younger brother. You are a big summer, so don't worry about it." I should have let you sleep alone in the living room. I’m confused. I’m sorry. But you see, I told you about this situation last night. It’s inconvenient after all, isn’t it? Otherwise, I’ll find you If you want a hotel, or you can tell me if you like it, you can choose whatever you want, I, Pingqiu, always want you to live more comfortably."
Who would have thought that Xu Xiuyuan would say, "I won't use it for the time being. I may be going home in two days, so I don't need to spend that much money."
"Are you going home in two days?" Lu Yang was surprised, "What happened at home?"
"That's too much, I can't tell." Xu Xiuyuan smiled at him, brushing his shoulder with his arm as he passed by.
Before Pingqiu went out, Xu Xiuyuan had already changed his clothes and was sitting at the dining table having breakfast.He has a habit of eating with one mind and two minds, either holding a book to read, or looking for some explanatory videos related to foreign majors.Pingqiu said goodbye to him, told him to rest at home, then closed the door, trotted down the two floors, but did not expect that Lu Yang, who had left half an hour before him, was still there. Chatted with a white-haired old man who went out to walk the birds and water the flowers at a fixed time every day.
The old man has serious presbyopia, so he looked closely at Lu Yang, and always felt that he looked like an acquaintance at the blind date corner in the old park recently, and kept asking him if he found a match.Lu Yang responded perfunctorily, and pulled Ping Qiu when he wanted to cross between them. The two stood side by side, and he put his arm around Ping Qiu's shoulders, as if joking, but also as if he was very serious and said to the old man: "This is my object."
The old man narrowed his eyes again and again: "No, this one looks familiar to me, it's the one upstairs——Xiaoping!"
"That's right, Xiaoping is my partner," Lu Yang hugged Pingqiu tightly, lowered his head and asked him, "Isn't that right, Xiaoping?"
Ping Qiu tried his best to suppress his expression, but still couldn't hold back.He lightly bumped Lu Yang's waist with his elbow, and while the old man was still confused, he took his hand and ran downstairs, leaving the old man to think about it for a long time, and then suddenly, he climbed the railing and went downstairs Cursed: "Hah, it's just you, old man!"
Lu Yang drove steadily, and the scenery outside the window receded quickly.After passing the last traffic light, Pingqiu opened his mouth and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you in the morning. I know it's difficult for you, so I should understand you."
"I wasn't angry at all." Lu Yang replied awkwardly.
Pingqiu didn't try to expose his clumsy lies, but he glanced at him with a smile on his face, and took advantage of the few seconds while waiting for the red light to hold his hand, put it on his mouth and kissed him twice as a comfort.Lu Yang was teased by him so that his mood improved, and when Ping Qiu was sticking his mouth up, he put his finger into his mouth, and Ping Qiu spat it out twice, the two looked at each other and laughed together.
After a while, Ping Qiu arrived on the ground, just opened the car door, when he suddenly heard something from Lu Yang, he turned his head: "What did you say?"
"I said—do you want to meet my parents?" Seeing the sudden change in Pingqiu's expression, Lu Yang hesitated, but he wanted to test Pingqiu's attitude, so he said directly, "For example, this summer vacation , or National Day, let's take two days to go to my house together?"
Ping Qiu slowly withdrew his right foot from stepping on the ground, and leaned back to the driver's seat.The car door was half closed, and noisy sounds poured into the car.He twisted his hands and ten fingers unconsciously: "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"
"I didn't think about this problem before, but I thought about it last night. Since I want to go to the end with you, these things are hard to get around." Lu Yang looked straight ahead, "But to be honest, it's very important to me. As far as my parents are concerned, it may still take a little time. So just treat it as me saying hello to you in advance to let you understand my intentions. Besides, let’s work hard together——Pingqiu, are you listening? ?”
Pingqiu's fugue was interrupted, and he turned his face to look at Lu Yang: "Huh?"
"Did you hear what I just said?" Lu Yang put his hands on both sides of his cheeks, "I'm serious, so you should be more serious, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Ping Qiu put his hands on the backs of his hands, looking a little dazed, as if he was dazed by Lu Yang's sudden statement.
If the gratitude and expectation in his eyes had substance, in Lu Yang's eyes, it was like a mountain pressing down on his shoulders, which made him even more reluctant to retreat after hesitating.But Pingqiu's mouth followed his reaction one step at a time. It was rare for Lu Yang to accept his straightforward affection, and he couldn't help it for a while. The retreat was like a blown wire, but it was a slight flicker in his mind. Flash, a little spark will disappear quickly.
When Pingqiu got out of the car, his lips were bright red, he lowered his head and walked quickly towards the main entrance, but was blocked by someone before he stepped up the steps.He looked up: "Cheng Zinong?"
"Teacher Qiu," Cheng Zinong stared at the black car that turned around and drove away quickly behind him, "You seem to be late today."
"Oh, I was delayed on the way." Ping Qiu entered the door side by side with him, and signed in at the front desk.
Cheng Zinong asked seemingly unintentionally: "Is the car that brought you here today the one that took me back that night?"
Pingqiu's pen tip paused: "It's my friend, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. My mother said that I have been bothering you all this time, and I want to treat you to a meal after my final exam is over," Cheng Zinong said, "If your friends want to come, my mother and I are also very welcome. "
"Don't bother," Ping Qiu declined, "I will take care of you, because you are a student of our institution, and you have nothing to do with me personally. You can thank your mother for me, but there is really no need."
"But—" Cheng Zinong still wanted to fight, but was interrupted by Ping Qiu.
"You have a math class in the morning, and you are going to be late, so hurry up."
With Lu Yang's promise in the morning, Pingqiu is in a good mood during the day and work.Colleagues saw that he was gloomy yesterday, but his face was radiant today, and asked him whether he secretly fell in love behind everyone's back.Pingqiu shyly denied it, but took the initiative to treat guests at noon. His colleagues took his credit and didn't blame him for being too reliable in keeping secrets. I only heard that a colleague passed by his office and found him smiling happily at the phone, occasionally frowning Lock, with mood ups and downs, is clearly in love.
After get off work in the evening, Pingqiu was still pondering the problem all the way home.When he entered the door, he saw Xu Xiuyuan sitting on the floor of the living room playing computer, Ping Qiu was distracted when he spoke to him, and the questions and answers were perfunctory, all his attention was on the phone screen.Xu Xiuyuan glanced at it while Pingqiu was putting the bowl away, and the screen displayed "What etiquette do you need to pay attention to when meeting your boyfriend's parents?".In the next second, Ping Qiu turned around, and he withdrew his gaze.
At night, Ping Qiu was lying on the side of the bed, and when he was drowsy, it seemed that someone got into the bed behind him, his body was very close, and a wave of moisture slowly climbed up his ankles.
Xu Xiuyuan put his hands on Pingqiu's back, just when Pingqiu was about to struggle, he said: "Turn around."
After hesitating for a moment, Ping Qiu turned over and met Xu Xiuyuan's bright eyes. He hardly dared to look directly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want it now?"
"You think it's too fast, then take your time," Xu Xiuyuan approached, with his lips almost sticking to the tip of Pingqiu's nose, "Now, kiss me first. I want to try how it feels."
Zhou Chuan obviously just washed his face, there were water marks on his forehead and chest, he walked unsteadily, and bumped into the wall in three or two steps.Lu Yang yawned and asked him when he woke up, but Zhou Chuan was still so drunk that he had no idea of the past time, saying that he woke up only when he heard the sound of pinging, pinging, pinging, pinging, pinging, bang, bang, etc. When he saw it, it turned out that Xu Xiuyuan was arranging the dishes.He only slept half the night last night, coupled with the feeling of alcohol, he couldn't bear the drowsiness after a break, but Lu Yang, on the other hand, was purely delirious from drinking.After Zhou Chuan woke up, he and Xu Xiuyuan worked together to lift him onto the sofa. Fortunately, he woke up within 2 minutes after lying down, wasting their efforts. God knows that he is full of tendons, and it was not easy to lift these few steps.
"You're already awake, why don't you just push me awake? I don't know how much I drank, and my head still hurts." Lu Yang pressed his temples on both sides, feeling his veins throbbing.
"Can it not hurt? Don't drink this amount of yours. I guess it will be tomorrow when you open your eyes. You sleep for a while, and I will vomit after watching it for a while." Zhou Chuan looked down at the time, "... almost, I I have to go home. How about you, together?"
"My shift tomorrow afternoon," Lu Yang asked noncommittally, "Where's Pingqiu?"
"In the room, my little brother just carried him in. I don't think he can drink at all, he seems to have passed out, and his whole body is as red as a boiled shrimp—then you mean you want to stay longer?" Zhou Chuan Before he finished speaking, seeing Xu Xiuyuan leave the bedroom, he turned to ask: "Pingqiu is asleep?"
"Sleeping." Xu Xiuyuan didn't know when he changed his clothes. The short t-shirt on his upper body looked familiar. Lu Yang recalled that it was Pingqiu's clothes.
Before leaving, Zhou Chuan babbled: "You didn't see that Pingqiu was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily, his whole face was flushed, and he kept saying that he would help put away the table. Just take it away. He poured the shochu as water, The little brother went to snatch it, but was splashed all over. Then guess what, Pingqiu felt that the smell was not right, so he went to smell it—drunk and stupefied!"
"Be careful!" Seeing that Zhou Chuan was about to fall, Lu Yang grabbed his arm suddenly.The two huddled together in the narrow corridor, and Lu Yang's shoulder hit the wall from time to time, causing him to grin his teeth in pain, but he also regained consciousness a lot.
Don't drink and drive, Zhou Chuan called a substitute driver in advance.The waiting process was long and boring. The two brothers stood at the bottom of the building under the street lamp and smoked.Zhou Chuan puffed out the smoke and sniffed at himself, almost nauseated by the stench of tobacco and alcohol.He also sniffed Lu Yang, seeing that he smelled too bad, so he smiled proudly: "You are not much better than me. When I get home, take a shower, and call my wife, it's comfortable!"
"Isn't it a quarrel?" Lu Yang laughed at him, "It's so easy to give in?"
"Can you not give in?...Anyway, she is never wrong. She is the one who is right. Besides, it's not me who is outside."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yang took him as a joke.
"Didn't understand? Let me tell you! My wife! There's someone outside her!" Zhou Chuan stood staggeringly, only holding a cigarette securely at his fingertips.
Hearing this, Lu Yang straightened his face slightly: "This matter is not a joke, you figure it out, don't wrong her."
"How wronged, I can see it with both eyes. That person is her company's intern this year, just graduated from university," Zhou Chuan held a cigarette in one hand, and made a "three" with the other hand, "23 years old, how young ,23 years old."
"So you guys quarreled recently because of this?"
"Otherwise, I can't even make trouble?"
"I didn't say that," Lu Yang asked, "Are you sure about it? Are you listening to others' speculation, or just—"
"I sent it downstairs and kissed her on the mouth. When I got home, my daughter kissed 'brother' one by one. Do you think this is chasing rumors, or is it that I caught adultery on the spot?" Zhou Chuan was drunk and said without restraint, "I know, When I chased her back then, I was Gao Pan, she was rich and beautiful, her promise to marry me was already smoke from my ancestral grave, I am content, she has the final say on everything in the family, and I don’t care if the child takes her surname—I Talk to her in a low voice and ask her to tell me the truth. Guess what she said? She admitted that she was really tempted. The intern is young and has a sweet mouth. Who doesn’t like the new and dislike the old? Maybe I have to thank her for willing Tell me the truth."
Lu Yang thought about it and asked, "Then what are you going to do? What's her attitude?"
"Her?" Zhou Chuan looked at the approaching figure in the distance, "She said to follow me, leave or continue if she wants to, she respects me—shit respect."
The surrogate driver was a young guy, and Zhou Chuan confessed his thoughts and drunkenly. He held the other party's collar and stuck it to his face. He stared at him and asked how old he was, which frightened the driver a lot.It was Lu Yang who cleverly cut his arm backwards and then pushed him into the back seat of the car.
After the car started the engine, Zhou Chuan lowered the windows of the back seat, motioning Lu Yang to bend forward.He drunkenly said: "You have to be careful, there are so many male students around Pingqiu, maybe he will fall in love with one of them. He is not a law-abiding person. The first time I saw him, he twisted that ass, no , waist, twisted so coquettishly, it is to seduce men—”
"Drive!" Lu Yang slapped the car body violently, and the substitute driver drove the car away, causing Zhou Chuan's last scribble in the air, melting into the dark night, and disappearing.
The wind blows downstairs for a while, and after smoking half a cigarette, Lu Yang is still a little dizzy when he climbs the stairs.When he entered, he saw Xu Xiuyuan was still dealing with the mess in the kitchen, and the garbage basket at his feet was full of crushed beer cans, and the headache seemed to intensify a lot.Lu Yang didn't disturb him, and walked towards the bedroom lightly. The lights in the room were turned off, the temperature of the air conditioner was adjusted moderately, and Pingqiu was sleeping soundly under a blanket.
Lu Yang stood at the end of the bed for a while, turned around and closed the door, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, sleeping on his side next to Ping Qiu.Wrapping his arms around his belly, Lu Yang buried his face into Pingqiu's neck, bit his lips against the skin, licked his tongue behind his ears and cheeks, and stuck his palms under the blanket, laying on Pingqiu's belly. Knead slowly.
Knowing that Xu Xiuyuan was right outside the door, the darkness in the bedroom also gave Lu Yang an endless sense of security.He was a little disturbed by Zhou Chuan's drunken words before he left, and his rationality told him that it was Zhou Chuan who was provoked by his cheating wife and spoke unscrupulously. out of control.He put his palms deeper, stroking Pingqiu's waist and abdomen, and then his buttocks.Pingqiu writhed uneasily in his arms, which made him seem like the kind of person Zhou Chuan despised, longing for the touch of youthful strength, and his dreams were full of thoughts.
At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the house.Lu Yang suddenly woke up, his eyes were suddenly clear, and he saw Pingqiu's twisted body wrapped in his arms, with his bare forearm raised high, and turned back to hold him around his neck, even his hands had already wrapped Pingqiu's pajama pants Pulling between the thighs, the palm lingers in that secret area.Annoyed, Lu Yang hurriedly put Pingqiu's hands and feet back in their original positions, tidied up his messy pajamas, and brushed back his messy hair.After adjusting his breathing and going out, Xu Xiuyuan happened to close the refrigerator door and meet him face to face. He signaled that there was hot water on the table, and asked, "Shall we talk?"
Lu Yang readily accepted the appointment.
Although Pingqiu's house is small in size, it has all the internal organs, especially the square balcony outside the living room, with a seat, it has always been a good place for Pingqiu to take a lazy nap.Later, Lu Yang often came to stay for a while, and one seat became two.
Sitting side by side with Xu Xiuyuan outside the balcony, Lu Yang's chaotic mood gradually calmed down.He was holding a water glass with a black tea bag hanging on the inside of the glass.The night was like water in front of him, he sipped tea, and Xu Xiuyuan said first: "Chinese medicine says that it is not suitable to drink tea after drinking."
"Ah, is it?" Lu Yang resentfully said, "I don't know very well, and I don't pay much attention to this."
"You don't look like such a careless person. I saw a lot of post-it notes in the carton next to the refrigerator before. The handwriting doesn't look like Brother Pingqiu. Did you write it?"
"I wrote it. He sometimes doesn't eat. I'm used to leaving him a message. It's a reminder to him."
"I remember that he was very sloppy when he was studying. At that time, he was in junior high school, I was in elementary school, and my brother was also in junior high school. The school was very close to each other, so my brother drove me to school early in the morning. He rode a bicycle and we The three went to school together," Xu Xiuyuan recalled. "At that time, my brother would take a long detour every time, passing a breakfast stand on the street, and buying glutinous rice siu mai made by his family. Brother Pingqiu liked it very much, and my brother would often eat more. I bought one for him. I found out later that he never ate breakfast at home, because he had paid for the food at school, so he would stay hungry until noon, which saved a lot of money.”
Lu Yang was a little surprised: "His family——"
Xu Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Not very good. You should know that he is a single parent, and there is only his mother at home-to be honest, you look completely different."
"What's the meaning?"
"Maybe it's because I've known him for too long, Pingqiu—actually, I'm not used to calling him brother."
Lu Yang smiled slightly, motioning for him to continue.
Xu Xiuyuan continued: "He is very introverted and his temper is too gentle. It may be because he grew up in a single-parent family. He is used to accommodating others. But you are different. You give me the impression that you are very cheerful and courageous. Unlike him before Should life be completely different?"
"Not bad, you are very good at judging people. You are right, my dad used to do this." Lu Yang raised his hand as a military salute.
"soldier?"
"Yes, my mother is a good teacher, right?" Lu Yang said, "I am an only child, and my family has been doing well since I was a child, but my parents are very strict. When I was young, my father often scolded me. My dad is even more ruthless, with such a thick cane, she pumped it directly on my thigh, and she picked the tenderest meat. I should be the most rebellious in middle school, skipping classes and training all day long. To tell you the truth, I was I really wanted to be a singer, and I even signed up for auditions for singing shows, but on the day of the auditions, my dad took them home, and our family pulled out two rattan sticks that night—anyway, they always felt that I couldn’t do anything. No, two old-fashioned ones."
"Are you a local?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.
"No, from a neighboring city. After retiring from the team, I was originally in the provincial team. I thought it was boring, so I came here—my grandmother is from the city."
"Your parents won't stop you?"
"Stop it, keep urging me to go home." Maybe it was the effect of alcohol that made it rare for Lu Yang to be honest. He said with a wry smile, "Where can I go back?"
"Because of Pingqiu?"
"..."
Lu Yang's silence is obviously the most direct answer.Xu Xiuyuan adjusted his sitting posture calmly, and raised his left knee slightly: "Speaking of which, I always feel that my brother is similar to you in some ways. He is also very rebellious. My mother was so angry that she went to the hospital, and my father wanted to sever ties with him."
Lu Yang's eyes flickered: "What about him and Pingqiu?"
Xu Xiuyuan nodded: "My mother was hospitalized, and my father was so angry that he dragged my brother to kneel beside my mother's bed, and whipped my brother so hard that he couldn't stand up with a broom handle. My mother scolded him, begged him, and used almost everything. Over and over again, my brother still doesn’t let go.”
"They had a great relationship at the time."
"Possibly, but still separated."
"I heard from Ping Qiu that they broke up because your brother broke up contact on his own initiative, so he didn't say so clearly."
"On the face of it."
"What's the meaning?"
"I asked my brother, since he and his parents could fight like that for him, why did they break up so easily, and he even took the initiative," Xu Xiuyuan said, "My brother didn't have much to explain, just saying that he couldn't give Pingqiu What you want, it is better to just let go, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."
"What does Pingqiu want?" Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, then asked sincerely, "I don't quite understand."
"I think it may be a sense of security. He is a single-parent family and has a shy personality. In fact, he has a very stubborn temper. I guess Pingqiu should have cared about my parents' opinions at that time. He probably needs the recognition and support of his elders."
Lu Yang moved his eyes down and nailed to a dim street lamp at the bottom of the building.
Xu Xiuyuan continued: "After all, no one wants to be sneaky all their lives."
That night, when Lu Yang stayed overnight, Xu Xiuyuan tactfully hugged a blanket and built a nest on the sofa in the living room. With a small fan on his leg, he said good night to Lu Yang who was leaning against the wall with a face full of shame, and asked him to help turn off the headlights in the living room. Pull off.
Lu Yang turned off the lights as he said, but stood in the dark for a long time.The faint light of the mobile phone screen reflected his eyes faintly. He lingered for a long time under the two lines of phone numbers marked "parents", and immediately regretted pressing the button.No matter how many troubles there were, he simply put them aside, and the boat went straight to the bridge. Right now, he should take a shower to wash away the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body.
There were three or two pieces of Lu Yang's change of clothes left in Pingqiu's residence, but they were all long-sleeved trousers, so Lu Yang found a pair of Pingqiu's short T-shirts in the bedroom.He stepped into the bathroom, filled with fog, his clothes hung on the hooks on the wall, then rummaged left and right, and found out from the drawer the pair of colorful underwear that Pingqiu had hidden before.
Facing the direction of the sink, Lu Yang finally paid attention, and found that the wooden shelf where he and Pingqiu's two washing cups were placed side by side had changed hands. His gray toothbrush cup was put into a drawer, and a brand new pure white one was replaced. wash cup.He felt weird, and gently pushed one of the washing cups away with a finger, and then moved the other one to the other end.
Unexpectedly, the door was knocked, Xu Xiuyuan squeezed in, said "Excuse me", and bent down to take out a bottle of new shampoo from the penultimate drawer on the right.He was very careful, and even unpacked Lu Yang, squeezed out two pumps of air and handed it to him: "The old bottle has just been used up, I forgot. You take a shower, be careful of the water, the floor is very slippery."
Lu Yang was inexplicably restless, but he couldn't fault his thoughtfulness to Xu Xiuyuan.After he thanked him, Xu Xiuyuan was about to close the door, but was hurriedly called to stop.
Facing Shang Luyang's still somewhat distracted eyes, Xu Xiuyuan smiled shortly in a nasal voice, interrupting his unfinished words: "It's late, go to bed early after taking a shower."
After speaking, he closed the bathroom door, turned the handle on the outside of the door, and locked the door intimately for Lu Yang.
The next day, Pingqiu got up early, and saw the screen window in the room dimly, the curtain was not drawn tightly, and the gap in the middle revealed the bright sky outside the window.He tried to turn over, but found that his waist was heavy. It turned out that an arm from behind was tightly encircling his waist and abdomen.
"Xiuyuan, you let go, I feel a little uncomfortable." Tired in the morning, Pingqiu's consciousness was fuzzy, and he naturally regarded the other person who slept in the bed as Xu Xiuyuan, until he turned over to face the sleepy Lu Yang, he was startled, and repeated The request stuck in his mouth was difficult to get up and down, and his scalp was numb with fright.
But his slowness was regarded by Lu Yang as lazy in the morning, he even lowered his body, leaning his head closer to Pingqiu's chest.Lu Yang's voice was vague: "It's still early, sleep a little longer. I didn't hear what you just said clearly."
Pingqiu was tongue-tied: "I said, it's already dawn."
"Why did I hear you say that you are uncomfortable?" Lu Yang lazily said, his current posture was convenient for him to use his lips to pick the button of Pingqiu's chest, and pecked at his chest seemingly indistinctly.
"I said you hugged me too tightly, it was uncomfortable," Ping Qiu intentionally changed the subject, and lowered his voice, "Why did you sleep with me last night? It's not good to be seen by Xiu Yuan."
"He's not in the room."
"Oh, he didn't sleep on the floor at night? Where did he sleep?"
"living room."
This time Ping Qiu was completely awake.He pushed Lu Yang's shoulders, turned over and pulled up the collar of the pajamas that were scattered on both shoulders, and turned around. Not only was his hair and clothes messed up, but even the expression on his face was disturbing.He said: "There is no air-conditioning in the living room. On such a hot day, how can he sleep outside? Why don't you persuade him?"
Lu Yang stood up and said, "He went out on his own initiative, I didn't force him."
"If he goes out, won't you keep him?" Ping Qiu was annoyed.
"He's going by himself, how can I stay?" Lu Yang was also angry, "Do I still have to say that you stay and sleep on the bottom, and you and Pingqiu brother sleep on it, we don't mind, and you don't have to feel embarrassed .Is that what you think I should say?"
Ping Qiu was left speechless by his call, and he did have his reasons, but it was definitely not out of his heart to let Xu Xiuyuan spend the night in the stuffy living room. If Ping Qiu had some consciousness at that time, he knew Lu Yang If he wanted to stay overnight, he would even take the initiative to give up the room and sleep in the living room by himself.
Leaving Lu Yang to sit on the head of the bed full of displeasure, Ping Qiu went straight out of the bedroom, and as expected, he saw Xu Xiuyuan lying in the living room with his arms covering his eyes, sweating from sleep.The sofa was cushioned with ordinary checkered fabric, probably because he was worried that it would get wet with sweat, so Xu Xiuyuan even spread two more coats under his body as a spacer, which made him sweat even more.
Ping Qiu crouched by the sofa and gently shook his shoulders, calling him to wake up in a low voice.Xu Xiuyuan was half asleep and half awake, the sweltering heat of the summer night made him toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and he barely closed his eyes until it was dawn. This time he was awakened, he put down his arm, his face was wet with sweat, and there was a round lump on his forehead red seal.
Seeing this, Pingqiu felt even more guilty.He turned off the fan at his feet, pulled Xu Xiuyuan's wrist and said, "Go, go to sleep in the room."
Xu Xiuyuan sat up, his clothes clinging to his back.He brushed all the sweaty forehead hair back, glanced at the balcony, and said hoarsely, "It's dawn?"
"It's past seven o'clock. You should change your clothes first, then go to sleep in the room, don't go in directly, you will catch a cold if you sweat so much." Ping Qiu helped him tidy up the blanket.Because of the sweltering heat last night, Xu Xiuyuan threw the blanket aside.
"Don't sleep, I'm going to buy breakfast." Xu Xiuyuan stood up.
"Don't go," Ping Qiu hurriedly pulled him back, rubbing his palms with wet spots: "I'll buy breakfast, you go to sleep for a while."
"Aren't you going to work?" Xu Xiuyuan said, "You pack up and go downstairs, I will ride there by bike, the time will be just right, and I won't delay you."
Ping Qiu's throat choked: "Don't do this."
"Well," Xu Xiuyuan held his hand back, the outdoors were facing the sun and the indoors, Xu Xiuyuan happened to be against the light, which made his face blurry, "You always have this expression, as if you are very reluctant."
"I think—" Before Pingqiu finished speaking, there was movement in the direction of the bedroom.He subconsciously withdrew his hand, because of the force, he fell down and sat down on the sofa, stood up at the same time Lu Yang appeared, combed his hair twice, and then stared at Xu Xiuyuan's left hand hanging in the seam of his trousers, leaving After saying "Go to sleep", he turned and walked into the bathroom.
The sound of the door opening and closing made Lu Yang's brows tighten and loosen, loosen and tighten again.He didn't want Xu Xiuyuan to see through another quarrel between him and Pingqiu over an unimportant matter, so he forced his expression to signal him to listen to Pingqiu's words and go back to bed.
When the two sides passed each other, Lu Yang made a gesture to block his way, followed Ping Qiu's previous accusation and apologized: "Your brother has already taught me a lesson, you are a guest, and you are also a younger brother. You are a big summer, so don't worry about it." I should have let you sleep alone in the living room. I’m confused. I’m sorry. But you see, I told you about this situation last night. It’s inconvenient after all, isn’t it? Otherwise, I’ll find you If you want a hotel, or you can tell me if you like it, you can choose whatever you want, I, Pingqiu, always want you to live more comfortably."
Who would have thought that Xu Xiuyuan would say, "I won't use it for the time being. I may be going home in two days, so I don't need to spend that much money."
"Are you going home in two days?" Lu Yang was surprised, "What happened at home?"
"That's too much, I can't tell." Xu Xiuyuan smiled at him, brushing his shoulder with his arm as he passed by.
Before Pingqiu went out, Xu Xiuyuan had already changed his clothes and was sitting at the dining table having breakfast.He has a habit of eating with one mind and two minds, either holding a book to read, or looking for some explanatory videos related to foreign majors.Pingqiu said goodbye to him, told him to rest at home, then closed the door, trotted down the two floors, but did not expect that Lu Yang, who had left half an hour before him, was still there. Chatted with a white-haired old man who went out to walk the birds and water the flowers at a fixed time every day.
The old man has serious presbyopia, so he looked closely at Lu Yang, and always felt that he looked like an acquaintance at the blind date corner in the old park recently, and kept asking him if he found a match.Lu Yang responded perfunctorily, and pulled Ping Qiu when he wanted to cross between them. The two stood side by side, and he put his arm around Ping Qiu's shoulders, as if joking, but also as if he was very serious and said to the old man: "This is my object."
The old man narrowed his eyes again and again: "No, this one looks familiar to me, it's the one upstairs——Xiaoping!"
"That's right, Xiaoping is my partner," Lu Yang hugged Pingqiu tightly, lowered his head and asked him, "Isn't that right, Xiaoping?"
Ping Qiu tried his best to suppress his expression, but still couldn't hold back.He lightly bumped Lu Yang's waist with his elbow, and while the old man was still confused, he took his hand and ran downstairs, leaving the old man to think about it for a long time, and then suddenly, he climbed the railing and went downstairs Cursed: "Hah, it's just you, old man!"
Lu Yang drove steadily, and the scenery outside the window receded quickly.After passing the last traffic light, Pingqiu opened his mouth and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you in the morning. I know it's difficult for you, so I should understand you."
"I wasn't angry at all." Lu Yang replied awkwardly.
Pingqiu didn't try to expose his clumsy lies, but he glanced at him with a smile on his face, and took advantage of the few seconds while waiting for the red light to hold his hand, put it on his mouth and kissed him twice as a comfort.Lu Yang was teased by him so that his mood improved, and when Ping Qiu was sticking his mouth up, he put his finger into his mouth, and Ping Qiu spat it out twice, the two looked at each other and laughed together.
After a while, Ping Qiu arrived on the ground, just opened the car door, when he suddenly heard something from Lu Yang, he turned his head: "What did you say?"
"I said—do you want to meet my parents?" Seeing the sudden change in Pingqiu's expression, Lu Yang hesitated, but he wanted to test Pingqiu's attitude, so he said directly, "For example, this summer vacation , or National Day, let's take two days to go to my house together?"
Ping Qiu slowly withdrew his right foot from stepping on the ground, and leaned back to the driver's seat.The car door was half closed, and noisy sounds poured into the car.He twisted his hands and ten fingers unconsciously: "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"
"I didn't think about this problem before, but I thought about it last night. Since I want to go to the end with you, these things are hard to get around." Lu Yang looked straight ahead, "But to be honest, it's very important to me. As far as my parents are concerned, it may still take a little time. So just treat it as me saying hello to you in advance to let you understand my intentions. Besides, let’s work hard together——Pingqiu, are you listening? ?”
Pingqiu's fugue was interrupted, and he turned his face to look at Lu Yang: "Huh?"
"Did you hear what I just said?" Lu Yang put his hands on both sides of his cheeks, "I'm serious, so you should be more serious, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Ping Qiu put his hands on the backs of his hands, looking a little dazed, as if he was dazed by Lu Yang's sudden statement.
If the gratitude and expectation in his eyes had substance, in Lu Yang's eyes, it was like a mountain pressing down on his shoulders, which made him even more reluctant to retreat after hesitating.But Pingqiu's mouth followed his reaction one step at a time. It was rare for Lu Yang to accept his straightforward affection, and he couldn't help it for a while. The retreat was like a blown wire, but it was a slight flicker in his mind. Flash, a little spark will disappear quickly.
When Pingqiu got out of the car, his lips were bright red, he lowered his head and walked quickly towards the main entrance, but was blocked by someone before he stepped up the steps.He looked up: "Cheng Zinong?"
"Teacher Qiu," Cheng Zinong stared at the black car that turned around and drove away quickly behind him, "You seem to be late today."
"Oh, I was delayed on the way." Ping Qiu entered the door side by side with him, and signed in at the front desk.
Cheng Zinong asked seemingly unintentionally: "Is the car that brought you here today the one that took me back that night?"
Pingqiu's pen tip paused: "It's my friend, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. My mother said that I have been bothering you all this time, and I want to treat you to a meal after my final exam is over," Cheng Zinong said, "If your friends want to come, my mother and I are also very welcome. "
"Don't bother," Ping Qiu declined, "I will take care of you, because you are a student of our institution, and you have nothing to do with me personally. You can thank your mother for me, but there is really no need."
"But—" Cheng Zinong still wanted to fight, but was interrupted by Ping Qiu.
"You have a math class in the morning, and you are going to be late, so hurry up."
With Lu Yang's promise in the morning, Pingqiu is in a good mood during the day and work.Colleagues saw that he was gloomy yesterday, but his face was radiant today, and asked him whether he secretly fell in love behind everyone's back.Pingqiu shyly denied it, but took the initiative to treat guests at noon. His colleagues took his credit and didn't blame him for being too reliable in keeping secrets. I only heard that a colleague passed by his office and found him smiling happily at the phone, occasionally frowning Lock, with mood ups and downs, is clearly in love.
After get off work in the evening, Pingqiu was still pondering the problem all the way home.When he entered the door, he saw Xu Xiuyuan sitting on the floor of the living room playing computer, Ping Qiu was distracted when he spoke to him, and the questions and answers were perfunctory, all his attention was on the phone screen.Xu Xiuyuan glanced at it while Pingqiu was putting the bowl away, and the screen displayed "What etiquette do you need to pay attention to when meeting your boyfriend's parents?".In the next second, Ping Qiu turned around, and he withdrew his gaze.
At night, Ping Qiu was lying on the side of the bed, and when he was drowsy, it seemed that someone got into the bed behind him, his body was very close, and a wave of moisture slowly climbed up his ankles.
Xu Xiuyuan put his hands on Pingqiu's back, just when Pingqiu was about to struggle, he said: "Turn around."
After hesitating for a moment, Ping Qiu turned over and met Xu Xiuyuan's bright eyes. He hardly dared to look directly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want it now?"
"You think it's too fast, then take your time," Xu Xiuyuan approached, with his lips almost sticking to the tip of Pingqiu's nose, "Now, kiss me first. I want to try how it feels."
